I liked the concept and the idea behind your Prezi. Talking about true love, or even love in general, in terms of all these different things was a good idea. It just seems like their is a lot to follow and possibly too much to comprehend at once. It is almost like you went from the idea of loving someone else to learning to love yourself without really giving the reasons for that. I felt that the Prezi was really strong and I liked your connection back to identity. It helped when you explained the presentation to make the ideas flow together but try to make it clearer in the Prezi. Also one thing I noticed was you spelled "fairytail" when it should be "fairytale," sorry I'm a grammar person.

I really liked your Prezi-- it was clear and easy to follow. I like how you use the different colors to stand for the things you have been told and for your opinions. I liked how you made it very personal by adding your own thoughts and ideas. The presentation was very clear and your ideas made sense.
The only thing that I would try to do different is to add in yourself and maybe some experience you have with parenting or what you are expecting to face with your own child. Something that connects you to the story.

I liked how you were able to create an audience that was broad enough to reach out to multiple people. I liked how you started with the passive ways that music works and then moved into your point-- it helps to show the opposite to show that you've address it. You had really strong connections to the readings and the course in your presentation; is there a way to connect this in the Prezi itself? Also where do you put yourself in the presentation... where do you stand?
I really liked your question about how music is creating us in a way rather than us using it to our benefit.

Good explanation before starting; it helped to make it where we would understand what we were going to be looking at. The Prezi was really strong- the colors and pictures work well with the text. I really liked how you also explained the idea at the end. The presentation was really good and the story came across really well. I liked the effects you added to the images.
It was a really really good presentation and I liked the idea a lot. The only thing that I would add is possibly something explaining where the poem comes from or something to support that... I'm not sure how or where you would do this but potentially your audience would not understand where it comes from and how it applies to the rhetorical side of things.

The words are difficult to read on top of some of the pictures. You also lost me the first time through with some of the image, I did not feel that they flowed with what you were trying to say. Also the reliance on text is strong and you may want to use less. Otherwise, its a very good presentation. The overall idea comes across clearly and while I am not a writer I understood what you were saying. I liked how the Prezi was set up in a circle and how to showed the repeating pattern of the writing cycle. Good explanation after the Prezi, helps to support your ideas! The images make more sense with your explanations but try to have them mean something without you having to explain each detail.

I love the Titanic and how you choose to focus on someone else. The images were strong and they supported your point well. The connection back to real life helps to make it strong. The colors supported your idea of death and despair which was good. One thing that I would change about it is to focus on some of the text points because they were hard to see during the presentation. And try to have connection back to the readings and the course so that we know why you choose to do this topic. Otherwise good job!
